Re: Itchiness... Is this a new pregnancy Thing!
Is the itchiness concentrated anywhere? like on the soles of your feet or palms of your hands?

Re: Itchiness... Is this a new pregnancy Thing!
belly itchiness is from the skin stretching. If you have SEVERE, unbearable itching all over then I would call your dr. It could be a sign of pre-eclampsia (or something) i think. My belly and boobs itch me all day but I know it's just because I'm getting bigger. But I don't itch anywhere else that much, nothing worse than normal itches here and there.
ETA: It could also be the temp just dropped like 25 degrees in a few days and it's super dry. Your skin might just be really dry and you need to get a thicker lotion. Try that for awhile.

Re: Itchiness... Is this a new pregnancy Thing!
my legs have been itchy since I got pregnant - I have scars on my legs from scratching....for some reason it seems to be worse after shaving. My boobs are also very itchy from time to time. Just another fun thing to add to the list.

Re: Itchiness... Is this a new pregnancy Thing!
Ladies if you ever get severe itching thats concentrated on your feet or palms of your hands call your doc immediately. Its called Cholestasis and is very dangerous. I developed it at the end of week 37 and I was induced immediately.

It's actually cholestasis you are thinking of but that is pretty rare-you would probably feel like crap too if you had that. you may have PUPPS-I have it and it is brutal-most of my itching is on my stomach though-I have a few "rashy" spots but not many-it just itches constantly. About 70% of the people that get it are having boys. Talk to your dr

Re: Itchiness... Is this a new pregnancy Thing!
I know its no consolation but I have it really badly too. My legs are so dry I have to keep lotion in my desk to avoid going crazy. It doesn't help that its been really dry where I live.
